Infectious Disease Case Reports and Treatments

We studied monocyte function in a case of malakoplakia in an attempt to characterize the immune defect in this condition. Our patient's intracellular cyclic-GMP levels were abnormally low (mean +/- S.D. of 0.17 +/- 0.05 pmol per 10(7) malakoplakia cells, versus 0.79 +/- 0.12 in normals) p less than 0.001). After phago…

Chryseobacterium indologenes was isolated from blood samples from a 5-month-old infant with bloodstream infection. Environmental sampling was performed. Molecular typing with arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction demonstrated the cross-contamination of commercial distillate water. The infant was infected by thi…
